Testing-guided treatment for stubborn stomach H. pylori
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This trial studies whether using lab testing to guide antibiotic choice works better than using a standard (empirical) treatment plan for stubborn H. pylori infection. You might benefit if past treatments have not cleared the infection after multiple attempts.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 20 or older
- Have a stomach H. pylori infection that did not go away after at least two different eradication treatments
- Be considered to have “refractory” (hard-to-cure) H. pylori based on prior treatment failure

This study compares two ways to treat Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection that didn’t go away with prior therapy. One approach uses test results to guide which medicines to use, and the other uses standard (“empiric”) treatment. The goal is to see which works better and more safely as a rescue plan.
This study tests if analyzing a stool sample can help choose the right antibiotics to clear a stubborn H. pylori infection that hasn't been cured before. It aims to improve treatment success with fewer side effects.
This trial compares a personalized treatment approach to the standard one for H. pylori infection. If you are scheduled for an upper endoscopy and need biopsies, you may be able to join.
This trial tests two different antibiotic combinations (both including bismuth) to see which works better at getting rid of an H. pylori infection in the stomach. The goal is to find a more effective way to clear the infection and reduce stomach problems.
This trial tests a simpler two-drug treatment for H. pylori infection, chosen based on a stool test that checks if the bacteria are resistant to clarithromycin. It may help people who have not been treated before avoid unnecessary antibiotics.
This trial studies how to eradicate Helicobacter pylori (a germ in the stomach) and monitor follow-up results after treatment. You may be a candidate if you have confirmed infection and have not taken certain stomach medicines or antibiotics recently.
